<a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/">Will Smith</a> has been a renowned Hollywood star for decades. He rose to fame as a rapper before becoming one of the biggest movie stars in the world. He has delivered hit after hit, from Bad Boys to Men in Black. However, there is one achievement that he might have to share with someone else soon. Dwayne &#8216;The Rock’ Johnson, who has become a Hollywood heavyweight, is about to break Smith&#8217;s famed record.
Smith currently holds the record for the highest-paid actor for a single film role, along with Robert Downey Jr. Both of them received $40 million for their roles in King Richard and Captain America: Civil War, respectively. King Richard went on to win several Oscars, including Best Actor for Will Smith.

However, Dwayne Johnson, also known as DC&#8217;s Black Adam, may soon surpass the Oscar winner. A former wrestler and action star, he has become one of the most bankable and beloved actors in Hollywood. He has headlined major franchises that have counted on his sheer star power. <a href="https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/dwayne-johnson-highest-paid.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As reported by Giant Freakin&#8217; Robot</a>, The Rock is getting paid $50 million for his role in Red One, an Amazon Prime Video original film.
Johnson&#8217;s payday for Red One is the largest amount ever paid to an actor for a single film role, and it shows how much Amazon values his star power and fan base. At one end of the stick where we have actors on strike at SAG-AFTRA delaying multiple films, The Rock has sailed on fans&#8217; love to secure this landmark deal.

However, where do The Fresh Prince and The Rock stand next to each other in terms of the box office?
<h2>Will Smith vs. The Rock: where do they stand in Hollywood?</h2>
The entertainment industry recognizes Will Smith and Dwayne Johnson as highly accomplished and versatile actors, who have successful careers that span various genres and decades. However, when it comes to their box office achievements, The Rock has the upper hand on Smith. The Fast 5 star’s movies have collectively earned over $12.3 billion worldwide, while Smith&#8217;s movies have garnered approximately $9.6 billion. He is also notably involved in Fast &amp; Furious, Jumanji, and San Andreas. Among his notable successes, Fast &amp; Furious Presents: Hobbs &amp; Shaw stands out as his highest-grossing film, amassing $759 million globally.

On the other hand, Will Smith has fewer consistent franchise appearances to his name. His most prosperous series is Bad Boys, which he recently revived with Bad Boys for Life in 2020. Additionally, he has delivered impactful performances in notable films such as Independence Day, Men in Black, Aladdin, and Suicide Squad. Aladdin holds the record as his highest-grossing film, earning $1 billion worldwide. 
The duo may be competing for records and awards, but they are also inspiring each other and their fans with their passion and dedication. They are both icons of Hollywood who have proven their versatility and longevity in the industry.
